 The DHS Speech and Debate team continued their winning ways for the 22/23 season at the Cabot Classic this weekend. The students did incredibly well. Two teams in particular, one novice and one varsity placed as quarterfinalists at the tournaments in their respective category. In addition, Bridget Dennis placed as 3rd Overall Varsity Public Forum Debate Speaker.”

Congratulations to Aubrey Hahn - 4th place in the State BETA 12th grade Math competition at the Hot Springs Convention Center.
An assembly was held yesterday during advisory at DHS as a way to honor our students, faculty, and school board for receiving the "Schools on the Move" award by the state of Arkansas.
Our staff and students wore Dardanelle High School is #1 shirts today after receiving them in our assembly earlier this week. 
We had a very special guest visit our campus yesterday, the one and only Jerry II from Arkansas Tech University brought smiles to all of our faces and even helped Dr. Burris with some important paperwork at his desk. Thank you to ATU for brightening our day with your precious ambassador.

Great job, DMS 7th and 8th-grade choir and our 6th-grade choir!
